I wonder what Newer is going to do... no doubt cut prices. $450 for a 'used' 466 MHz plus the return hassle (and being billed $600 originally) or $500 for a new 500 MHz... pretty e…

I saw a post where someone was waiting for their 2nd replacement Newer card to be out.

I just put a 400mhz G3 zif (aluminum) on a formac carrier card into my old Power Mac 7500. The accompanying control panel and Newer's GaugePro tell me my processor is running at te…

I'm adding a 30g hard drive to my G4, but it's just a bare drive and didn't come with any screws. Does anyone know what size screw I should get? Sorry for the weird question ;-) T…

Ya use Duck Tape silly city boy. yuk yuk >hiccup< Barney

I would email the company that made that there drive. And if that was a Simpon's reference, Cletus is the slack jawed yokel. Barney Gumble is just a drunk, that burps, not hiccups…

And isn't it "Duct" Tape??

The screws for most drives I have installed are 6-32 UNC, with a maximum length of 1/4 inch. If you are using the side mounting holes then on some drives the screw can foul the ci…

(Posted this in the Powerbook forum also, sorry for the redundancy) Hey all, I'm looking for some kind soul to provide me with DETAILED instructions (in english) on how to do the …

Blah. Go to your local sign maker. Ask for some 3M ScotchCal in silver. It should have an adhesive side. Bring it home. Cut it in half. Line up one half over the outer section of …

I have a rev1 B&W G3/300 mhz. I broke my warranty (was up anyhoo) and tried to overclock it today. I followed instructions from xlr8yourmac.com and well, no results. I tried EV…

Is there no setting for anything lower than 350mhz and higher than 300mhz? Try that... As for the processor itself, some processors have good yields while others do not. For exampl…

I don't think their are any settings for jumps inbetween 300 and 350. That and the increase in speed would be almost unnoticeable. I was going to try playing with the bus speeds a…

Okay .. so I am newbie to this overclocking business .. I have done it on a PC before .. but never on a mac. I have 2 G4's one 400mhz Yikes motherboard And one 400mhz Sawtooth mo…

G4 strip allows for speeding up the L2 cache from about 199 mhz to 265.7 mhz. A noticeable improvement. Actual speedups regarding the CPU on Sawtooth - unknown. As far as Yikes?…

Having seen that Powerlogix designed a whole iMac system board from scratch, another possiblity just came to my mind... Would it be possible that Powerlogix invented a G4 add-on c…

Well, using the AGP slot means you would have to use a PCI graphics card. Also, it would be better if Orange Micro just came out with an Athlon card for G4s.

Orange Micro makes K6-2/600 daughtercards and sells them for $1000. What would an Athlon cost? Plus, the G4 does not have enough puff in its power supply to feed the monstruous At…

Please disregard this post I found all of the previous banter on this subject and am now informed. Although if anyone has a visual quick start guide to this hack I'd be indebted to…

I was wondering if anyone has ever experimented with modem bonding on the Mac since I know it can be done on PCs. I have a network of about 5 macs at home and figured, if a network…

I want to overclock my powermac 5400/180 to 200 MHz and if that is stable maybe more. I'll add a fan to keep it cool. How do I go about this. Is there a way to increase my 40mhz bu…

The only way I know of to OC your bus is to actually go in and remove resistors. This is very touchy because if you get it going too fast, your system will freeze or crash. If th…

Beige G3 is jumpered, not using regular resistors, making it easy to OC, and almost everyone did such...on the other hand, the iMacs and the G4s are much harder to OC. Prior to th…
